Gangsteel, a leading manufacturer and exporter of structural steel plates, supplies premium EN 10025-2 S235JR steel plates for construction, bridges, and heavy machinery applications. The ASTM equivalent material of S235JR is A283 Grade C, a carbon steel with similar moderate strength and weldability for general use. This article explores the ASTM equivalent material of S235JR, detailing its equivalents, chemical compositions, mechanical properties, and applications, helping engineers and fabricators select suitable alternatives for US projects.

 

astm equivalent material of s235jr Overview of S235JR

 

S235JR is a European standard grade for hot-rolled structural steels with a minimum yield strength of 235 MPa and impact at +20°C. Its ASTM equivalent is A283 Grade C, used for similar applications in the US. Gangsteel offers S235JR with ASTM equivalents like EN 10025-2 S235J2 steel and EN 10025-2 S355JR+N, ensuring compliance for global projects.

For general construction with slightly higher yield.

Key Notes on Grade Mapping:

  • ASTM A283 Gr C: Primary equivalent, with yield 205 MPa for low-load use.
  • Substitution is common in US projects for European specs.

Gangsteel provides dual-certified plates, including EN 10025-2 S275JR and EN 10025-2 S275J0 steel.

Key Notes on Mechanical Properties:

  • Both have similar strength, but EN 10025-2 guarantees impact.
  • ASTM A283 Gr C is versatile but may need testing for cold use.

Gangsteel provides tested plates for reliable performance.

 

astm equivalent material of s235jr Applications and Substitution Considerations

 

S235JR is used in construction (buildings), offshore (platforms), and machinery (frames). Its ASTM equivalent A283 Gr C substitutes for:

  • General buildings and light bridges.
  • Equipment bases and moderate-load frames.

Substitution considerations:

  • Standards Compliance: EN for Europe, ASTM for US.
  • Toughness: EN has impact testing; ASTM may not.
  • Cost/Availability: ASTM in US, EN in Europe; Gangsteel bridges this.

For low-temperature, check EN 10025-2 S355J2 steel or EN 10025-2 S355K2 steel.
